We love developers.We love community. It’s why we do Nebraska.Code(), the most content-rich developer conference in Nebraska. Will you be a part of it?

This year has been extremely exciting. We are moving to the beautiful new state-of-the-art NIC Conference Center on the UNL Campus. The response to our Call For Speakers was overwhelming – double the presenters and topics submitted compared to previous years, spanning the wide spectrum of software development.

We have expanded to 3 days this year – doubling the number of keynotes and breakout sessions, and have an amazing venue for a super fun attendee party. Better venue. More content from amazing speakers. Epic party. And a free t-shirt if you register by March 10. How awesome is this?

Nebraska.Code() is March 19th – 21st. Space is limited and the only way to guarantee your spot at this groundbreaking event is to register now!

Have you been considering agile but are getting lost in terms? Want to know how to take the first step? Maybe you’re ready to go but not sure how to approach your organization? Come join us for a workshop designed to get you moving. We’ll be discussing just what is agile and why is it different from other software lifecycles. We will introduce you to the nuts and bolts of agile so you can sound like a pro. Finally, we’ll talk about what is the right approach for introducing agile into your environment.

Come prepared to learn and participate. This free workshop doesn’t require any experience in agile. If you’re just beginning (or about to) you will fit right in.

Zillow is graciously hosting this first-ever event. Come join us for a light breakfast and registration at 7:45 AM with the fun-filled workshop starting promptly at 8:00. The workshop will conclude with a lunch (also courtesy of Zillow) at 12:00. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Due to the demand for this event, we will be limiting the workshop to 40 participants with a wait list available. If you have RSVP’d and later realize you will not be able to attend, please be sure to cancel your reservation so that others can attend.
